My 14th great grandfather John Mildenhall Jr.
(1560-1614) was born in Little Bedwyn, Wiltshire, England; however, he died in
the most unsuspecting place- Ajmer, India. If one didn’t know his background, I
would think one would think their find was a mistake!

John Mildenhall was an explorer and worked for the British East
India Trading Company. John had been to India may times, but in 1614, he fell
ill and died. He is buried in the Agra Cemetery in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
He was the first Englishman recorded burial India.
Today, Ajmer, India is located in Rajasthan, in western
India. It is the 5th largest city in Rajasthan. It’s population is
485,575 (2001). It is a popular place to shop but mainly used as a connection
to Pushkar by train- the Ajmer Shatabdi Express.
